Great piece Jack. I like Ray Dalio's framing of purpose (in work): purpose is to evolve [grow] and to contribute to evolution in some small way. Putting the proverbial "dent in the universe" through the work that you do. Studies also suggest that people who focus on cultivating their strengths are happier and more successful.

I love that, ascribing meaning to your impact on the universe is a great way to maintain an intrinsic motivation to all that you do
